Membership with American
Academy of Experts in Traumatic
Stress demonstrates
a committment to the advancement
of intervention for survivors
of traumatic events. It
is the first step in a process
aimed at identifying expertise
among professionals across
disciplines. The Academy
is working in collaboration
with its sister organization
- the National
Center for Crisis Management.

"The
Academy has brought together the
best and the brightest to work
on better understanding of what

The
Academy is multidisciplinary and
facilitates different professions
coming together under one umbrella.
I think that's a great virtue. The
cross-pollination that comes from
that kid of interaction can only
begin to generate a deeper understanding
of the phenomemon of traumatic stress
as it affects victims and survivors
of trauma ... the Academy, with
its diverse and international membership,
provides a forum for education,
training, publication and consultation.

The Academy
in collaboration with National
Center for Crisis Management offers
workshops, presentations and seminars
by professionals, across disciplines,
who aim to assist others before,
during and in the aftermath of a
crisis.

This
guide conveys critical information
to assist schools in responding
effectively to “everyday
crises” as well as school-based
disasters. It is an invaluable
resource for administrators,
support personnel and faculty.

This guide provides a structure
and process for effectively
managing the wide spectrum
of university-based crises
- from the seemingly mundane
to the most severe. It is
an invaluable resource in
preparation for, and during,
actual crisis situations and
serves as a meaningful standard
for our nation’s colleges
and universities.

ATSM
offers “practical tools”
for addressing the wide spectrum
of traumatic experiences—from
mild to the most severe. It
is a goal-directed process
delivered within the framework
of a facilitative or helping
attitudinal climate. ATSM
aims to “jump-start”
an individual’s coping
and problem-solving abilities.
It seeks to stabilize acute
symptoms of traumatic stress
and stimulate healthy, adaptive
functioning.

This
book is the life raft that
is going to keep you, or someone
you know, from emotionally
drowning. Before anyone can
start to heal from the effects
of a traumatic event, they
must first be able to breathe,
feel safe, and think clearly.

In this
audio book, Dr. Mark Lerner
will teach you what you need
to know. In session one, he
provides practical information
that will help you understand
what’s happening to
you now—so you can regain
a sense of control. In session
two, he offers strategies
that will ease your pain,
keep you functioning and lessen
the likelihood of ongoing
emotional suffering. In session
three, Dr. Lerner will help
you to survive and thrive.

Surviving
and Thriving: Living Through
a Traumatic Experience
Dr. Lerner developed this
audio book to help you - while
you are living through a traumatic
experience. This program provides
practical information that
will ease your pain, keep
you functioning and lessen
the likelihood of long-term
emotional suffering. Most
importantly, it will help
you to see the opportunities
that a crisis can bring.
